    Hiya
    
    I'm seeing several of these probes today. Five requests, always in one
    second. Makes me think this is pretty automated ;)
    The webserver is very small, doesn't host any high traffic site, so this
    seems to be a scanner and is not specifically targeted.
    
    Seems someone is seeking for a special PHP version. Is there a new exploit
    or just a kiddie search for old php versions? Anyone up for news?

      "GET /index.php HTTP/1.0" 404 203 "-" "-"
    pd9ee3ea9.dip.t-dialin.net - - [13/Feb/2003:13:43:56 +0100]
      "GET /main.php HTTP/1.0" 404 202 "-" "-"
    pd9ee3ea9.dip.t-dialin.net - - [13/Feb/2003:13:43:56 +0100]
      "GET /phpinfo.php HTTP/1.0" 404 205 "-" "-"
    pd9ee3ea9.dip.t-dialin.net - - [13/Feb/2003:13:43:56 +0100]
      "GET /test.php HTTP/1.0" 404 202 "-" "-"
    pd9ee3ea9.dip.t-dialin.net - - [13/Feb/2003:13:43:56 +0100]
      "GET /index.php3 HTTP/1.0" 404 204 "-" "-"
    
    I'm not really worried, just wanted to note it might be better to upgrade
    to latest versions or even better, drop php ;-)
    
    Especially the phpinfo page might reveal a lot about your configuration.
    
    
    MfG/Regards, Alexander
